Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Our scheme is far more comprehensive and far more expansive. It deals with all of the issues that were all of the issues raised with me when I first met with the group. The policy response has been a very generous one. There has to be an evidence-based approach to it. The Society of Chartered Surveyors was brought in to look at the costs and all of the implications and to make provision. I do not think there is a jurisdiction anywhere in Europe that would have responded in the manner that we have responded as a Government. We also created further additionality in terms of the retrofit schemes and the SEAI.
